Ok guys I just wired up a new head unit in my 08 Cobalt, everything is running good, had some problems earlier, but the wires were undoone...

Here's what I'm wanting to know...

the harness I got for my car doesn't have an ACC wire, I searched and found out I can tap into the wiper fuse and have no problems, but I looked in the fuse box and I have a wiper relay, no fuse... So what should I do now? I'm tired of losing my presets everytime I turn my stereo off.

I know there's another expensive harness I could buy, but I'd rather rig something up myself, seeing as how I just dropped $10 for the one I have now.

 

if ur loosing ur memory you dont have constant power test the yellow wire for 12v with the car off

 

if you read the other thread you submitted you would have got the answer for this....as i stated about constant. The fuse box should have an ignition fuse in it for a couple of things , LOOK FOR .....SUNROOF,WIPERS, RAP SYSTEM, and in some occasions the factory door boots have a certain wire that says on until the door is opened IE (RAP system.)

do you own a DMM..(digital multi-meter)

 

Ok I had it wired into the ignition fuse, not good I'm guessing since when I turn the key off in my car the engine stays running till I open my door... I found the wiper, sunroof fuses, and tapped the wire in there, and it didn't seem to work.

Ok I fixed everything, it appears that it didn't have to do with the stereo as much as some of my fuses were missing that I needed, and there was a clusterfuck of problems, but I think I got them all worked out now... BTW head unit works great!!!

 

sweet....just let us know if you have anymore issues
